If you're looking for an alternative
to your traditional tree and you could benefit from a pollen-free
holiday environment, give the Leyland Cypress a try. The Leyland
Cypress is a combination of the Alaskan Cedar and Monterrey
Cypress from Mexico. It was developed by the British in the
19-40s as an ornamental tree. The tree was brought into Texas
in 19-82 as an alternative Christmas tree for growers. Because
it's a true hybrid, the Leyland cannot produce pollen, giving
allergy
sufferers the option of having a natural evergreen in
the house for Christmas. The most common Christmas tree grown
in Texas is the Virginia Pine. It is a thick, very dense evergreen.
The Leyland Cypress is less dense and looks more like a fir
tree. The Leyland Cypress was in short supply last year because
growers did not have the tree long enough to build up a good
supply. Tree farms should be better stocked this year.

"Christmas tree asthma"
causes coughing and wheezing and can ruin Christmas for those
affected. For years this problem along with associated nasal
congestion and sneezing were thought to be caused by molds
growing on the Christmas tree. New research, however, indicates
the real culprits are oleoresins produced by the tree itself.
Ironically, it is these same oleoresins that give Christmas
trees their pleasant Christmas smell. Since Leyland cypress
emits only limited quantities of oleoresins, they produce
very little odor -- hence, their potential to benefit allergy
sufferers.
